  • 41. Consciously Design Your Project's Solution
    Jun 16 2025

    All projects address designing the solution for the future state. However, most set up a Design Team or use consultants primarily of content experts to come up with their best recommendation. However, recall: “Having the solution is not the solution”! The design process directly impacts your ability to get the solution adopted and sustained. Content expertise, while essential, is not sufficient, especially if your project is transformational. To consciously address scope and design, we need to also clarify mindset, culture and stakeholder behavior, all required for a complete picture of how the new state needs to function. The episode discusses the importance of these competencies as well as expansion of the design process to ensure the best solution is generated and can be adopted and sustained. How do you address design and is it working for you?

    Dec 13 2024

    Using the ten most common mistakes as an assessment of your organization’s current reality in leading change is a powerful way to identify the costliest of the mistakes. Only then can leaders and internal change support resources look at how the mistakes come to happen and options for how to reduce their negative impact or avoid them completely. This episode takes each mistake and outlines several actions you might take to reduce or mitigate them. Leaders becoming aware of the mistakes and your organization’s rating against them can serve as a springboard to remedying them and up-leveling how your organization leads change and produces desired results.
